Removing a Floppy Disk or CD from the Disk Drive

  1. From the floppy or CD window Select the Eject Disk Button.

  2. Remove the disk or CD from the drive when it is ejected.

    The drive is now free.


    Note -

    On IA machines, you must physically remove floppies by hand. After selecting the Eject Disk button, you will see a pop-up window telling you that you may manually eject the floppy. Do not remove the floppy without selecting Eject Disk first. If you do, the system will display a pop-up window telling you to reinsert the floppy. Reinsert it, select Eject Disk, and remove the floppy.
